Irish lit ain't for sissies. Although this audio-book collection of public domain literature -- by James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Eugene O'Neill, and Jeremiah Curtin -- is published on St Pat's Day 2012, you'll find nought about whimsical leprechauns and lucky clover here. A multitude of sins and unhappiness -- drunkeness, greed, repressed sexuality, and other yearning, not to mention the brutality Annie Keeney bemoans in O'Neill's play -- aye. But not to worry; the load is leavened with the lovely...

Halloween horrors don't have to be made up tales of vaampires and zombies, sometimes they happen in real life. Fears of such things as brain surgery, killer whales, and theater fires have been around since before the 19th century, when these three works were written and found on Project Gutenberg. So turn out the lights, except for that glowing pumpkin in the window, and have a listen to True Horrors...

These are the first 10 chapters (including the short preface) of Lafcadio Hearn's non-fiction travelogue "Two Years in The French West Indies", Part I (1889), from Project Gutenberg E-book #6381. It is a vivid account of a trip into a world that hasn't changed much (in some places) in over a century. Some of his descriptions of the natives are of the time of course -- rather odd for a white guy who married and had a son with a Japanese lady to be making rather racist observations --...
